Gang

The IQgang Module allows an operator to filter jobs by a combination of: job & section status, stock & stock laminating combinations, and finishing options. The filtered set can then be adjusted to create a gang, parent, or master job. The new job can be manipulated within printIQ to suit specific sheet sizes, presses, and/or quantities. The gang job can then be created directly (at the click of a button) in printIQ. The gang job will contain all of the individual jobs and list them as ‘child’ jobs of the ganged ‘parent job. Once printing and cutting (and in some cases laminating) are complete on the Parent, the individual jobs will be released and the costs will be apportioned back to the individual jobs.

The gang job details in printIQ will give the operator all the necessary details to impose the individual jobs in the imposition program of choice.
